01. Rooftop panels convert sunlight to energy Solar panels on homes and businesses in the area convert sunlight to energy. Excess energy not used by household is exported to the Village Power battery. Typically there is surplus generated in the middle of the day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/e14a5384-4a24-427a-bc85-3424b6b29671/noun_Battery_2030246%2B%281%29.png Home (New) - 02. Excess energy is stored at a community battery bank Excess energy is stored in a community shared battery. The battery absorbs the excess energy generated the network, which can be dangerous, and makes it available in the evening when it is more useful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/f908cc04-7aeb-472e-abd5-5a3a4cc17366/noun_House%2BEcology_2030255.png Home (New) - 03. Participating homes draw power from the energy bank Participating homes can draw energy from the battery when they need it. So energy generated by sun in the middle of the day can be used when most people are at home in the evenings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c84e5b0348cd967825919de/8ced7834-4d0a-457b-85f5-be402bd0120c/noun_electric%2Bpole_2030268.png Home (New) - 04. Community battery bank sells excess energy to the national grid At times of peak demand, the spot price of electricity can be very high. The Village Power bank may sell some energy to the national electrcity grid at peak times, helping to reduce the price of power for the network.
